Am I considered a pedophile if I'm 15 (turning 16) and I'm attracted to a 13 yr old (turning 14) ???? I wonder....gosh...we have so many pedophiles and molestors in this world tho....probably a few in CR too....and also...we have alot of pedophile threads...

By the definition... Your a pedophile. Though the age difference is only 2 years. EDIT - scratch that, your still a minor.

I've seen stranger relations... My old neighbor's daughter got pregnant at 12 because her and a 14yr old were >.> engaged in some "activities"

Here is some bullshit though. Brother's friend was dating a girl who claimed and looked to be 18 (he was 20). He didn't learn that she was actually 16 until the cops came and arrested him for rape charges. He got out of it luckily, although by a hair. Moral of the story = check your date's ID.

The dictionary definition is sexual attraction towards children as you said. But what do we still consider as children? Anyone under 18? And if two 17 year olds go at it then wouldn't it still be pedofile? They are both "children" and they have sexual attraction for each other.

^ Ahh your dictionary gave the defination with the word adult.. mine didn't

Thats only here in the states though... In england the age of consent is 16 and in most of Canada the legal drinking age is 19.

well, in today's standards. 18 and up, people with jobs while attending some sort of college, or they just have a job and are out of high school, well, basically people that seem like you can look up to..

but i'd say it's 16/17 and up or for the streets, ghettos, projects, etc.. or if you're old enough to realize that you can easily kill someone and not feel a thing about it
hey. deny it all you want people.. but the 'streets' exists

pedophile, at sixteen? uh.. sure, if you like 5 year olds or something, but come on.
16 and 13 are not far off from one another, and besides. both of you are still growing.

it's not that far, but here in my state it's still enough to get checked into Walla Walla for rape charges.

eww, why would a 16 year old go for a 13 year old in that way? lol
i thought we were all just talking about physical/age attraction =P

Uhhh why would a 50 year old go for an 8 year old. Ahhh the strange things in this world..

well, that's because that 50 year old is a pedophile lol
but i remember being 16, i didn't look at 13 year olds that way, pretty much hated most of them too.. acting like they can beat me..psh..

also, the thread maker doesn't seem to be the type that would go for a 13 year old that way either.. but uh.. yeah..

Well there is a lot of physical, mental, and emotional maturing that goes on between the ages of 13 and 16. So heck no! I would never go after a 13 year old. They’re just little kids! What I said in my initial posts was a quote from a stand up comedian, didn’t I state that?

Anyway, I stay within the 2 year rang. I suppose some kids my age have the maturity of kids 13 years of age, physical, mental, and emotional. I’m just not attracted to these kind of people. Actually, this is why I have so much trouble dating in the teenage world. People are so consumed with childish drama that I honest thought would vanish once I got out of middle school… I was so young and naïve… -_-… I can’t believe it got worse! Geese man, teenage girls are supposed to mature faster than teenage boys, so I must be a freak because my female classmates and peers all some so superficial and childish to me. Then again, most of my male peers are the same way. Which is most likely why I get along better with my teachers than my classmates….

Umm… My dictionary doesn’t say that having sexual feelings for a minor makes you a pedophile… Here, “An adult with sexual attraction to child. Especially a man with sexual desires for small girls, usually between the ages of 5 and 12.”

Of course this isn’t a websters so…

Wait, being 18 automatically makes you an adult? Then why can’t you drink? (More importantly why can you go and serve your country if you can’t drink… Is that absurd to anyone else?) Also, what if you turn 18 and haven’t hit puberty yet? (I know a guy who didn’t get hair where he didn’t use to have it until he was 19… O_O… Highschool must have sucked for him. Poor guy)

Also, what if they’re like…mentally handicapped and have the mentality of a small child. Isn’t that still molestation?

I don’t know, I’m 16, and I’m more of an adult than most 18-30 year olds I know. In fact… All 18-30 year olds I know. Like, I don’t act like an idiot and go get drunk and have sex with random strangers. I’m also not consumed with trying to look cool.

Honestly the legal adult age needs to be raised 10 or 12 years. That’s how I feel.

P.S Here one is legally an adult at 17. Adults are allowed to date children (I think they must be at least 15) with the parent’s consent.

In my state there is a 2 year grace period. An Adult can have consensual sex with some one who is a minor if they are less than 2 years younger than them. So an 18 year old can have sex with a 16 or 17 year old and a 19 year old can have sex with a 17 year old. After 20 years old minors are off limits. This takes care of that "well my girlfriend is still 17 and I turned 18 a week ago" problem.

Being 16 and thinking that a 13 year old is attractive doesn't make you a pedophile. It makes you a 16 guy who thinks a girl is hot. Nothing wrong with that. Now if she was younger than that, that when it would get a little creepy, but you still wouldn't be a pedophile.

This being said I hate how people assume that only girls get molested and raped and talk about how men are the bane of such things. This coming from a victim, boys get molested too. In fact, I don’t remember where this was, but some statistic showed that in this specific areas between rape and molestation victims between the ages of 5-9 are mostly boys. The reason they gave for this was that mothers leave their young children with teenage babysitters who are usually girls. Note, this was an old statistic that I found years ago, but it drives me nuts to hear that boys never get hurt and life is just 99% harder for girls and women than for boys and men. That’s total crap, in my opinion. Guy’s have a lot of things that work against them too. (This is referring to America, obviously there are certain places where women get screwed over.)

Well, in some workplaces or situations, the moment a woman decided that she's going to tell the authorities that she had been "rape" (because she was fired from her job or not getting her ways), even though she wasn't rape at the first place, is kinda uncalled for to men. Occassionally, the authorities believes that woman even if there's no evidence.
Or, when a public crowd suddenly saw a battered woman (which her clothes are torn and dirty), in an instant, they accused the closest man they see of rape violation and battery.

I remember an episode in the Family Guy where Peter Griffin was making a joke with his fellow male co-workers. But when the female co-worker decided to hear how come his joke was funny from his fellow male co-workers, she complained to their management that Peter Griffin was a sexist.
So, at the end, he was sent to a facility that corrects the men's attitudes toward women.

(I know the topic is all about Pedophile. I just sharing this statements of mine because they seemed pertain a little bit with the topic. Sorry, if not. ^-^)
